Horse Riding in Corvera, Murcia with Club Hipica at Corvera Golf

I had riding lessons in my late teens, a long time ago now, and decided to start again now I’m in my 40’s a little older. I take lessons at Corvera Club Hipica right near the golf course (Corvera Golf). It’s a brand new riding school, they’re just getting everything set up. You can see in the video that they were working on the lighting system which was spooking the horse a little. At least that’s my excuse for riding so badly.

After the first lesson I felt like I’d forgotten more than I’d ever learnt. My bum, legs and back ached. My head was pounding from simultaneously translating the Spanish instructor into English and then into action – quite a delay. In the video this is my 3rd lesson, with instructor Gonzalo. He’s patient, funny and specific – great qualities for a teacher. The school has 2 rings, excellent jumping facilities and pupillage for horses. Lessons cost 35€ or you can buy a bono and get a discount.

For more information contact Gonzalo on +34 637 978 257 or +34 637 254 465 and tell him Deborah sent you.

An Update: This riding school has pretty much closed its doors for training. It only does competitions and shows these days. There isn’t a trainer here anymore. For all your riding needs near Corvera, Fuente Alamo, Cartagena and Murcia then come to EQ Centro Ecuestre – http://eqcentroecuestre.com/ – where I ride and keep my horse.

hi, got friend and son over in spain in couple weeks in fuente alamo area, was looking for somewhere to take them out for day. looking for a “pony trek” type facility.
can you advise if you know anywhere offers this type recreation.
thanks

Hi Bob
yes, the school where I ride can arrange a trek type thing – how old is your friend and son and what experience do they have? – the hipica I ride at has ponies and horses suitable for all ages and skill levels. They can usually tailor something to suit you. If you let me have more details I can ask them for you. Otherwise you can get in touch with them directly at: http://eqcentroecuestre.com/ – if you send them an email their daughter can speak excellent English and can reply.
